About This Novel

The representative work of Ismail Kadale, winner of the first Booker International Literature Prize, is an original and literal translation from Albanian, a confusing love novel, and a lingering suspense story. Albanian European Parliament official Mr. Y and his lover Rowena were killed in a traffic accident. The surviving taxi driver was in shock and vague about the cause of the accident. He only repeatedly said that he was frightened when he saw the two passengers "trying to kiss" in the rearview mirror. The special identity of the victim and the vague testimonies of the survivors attracted the intervention of the security agencies of many Eastern European countries. However, the investigation was fruitless and they withdrew one after another. In the end, a persevering investigator uncovered the hidden story behind the traffic accident by analyzing the witness testimony, the two people's notes and the memories of Rowena's close friends.
